Windows Central Question

was told that account had been compromised and that someone was sending out fake emails from my account. I think that this is a con to get me to switch on my laptop so they can talk me through getting this sorted. Thought you should know someone is making these claims, I cannot give a phone number as it was withheld

Yep. It is a scam...

Just to be clear…

This is a fan based News and Discussion site. It is in no way run by Microsoft, Lumia or any developer.

I have a couple colleagues who make a living (well that's not all they do!) cleaning up the aftermath of these calls. It is a scam!
